Broad World

Faith, the eternal and unchanging subject of Faerun. Countless current and former gods preach all kinds of teachings in this land, trying to make more intelligent creatures agree with their understanding of the universe. They created the kingdom of the true God, so that believers can live a comfortable life here after death, until they are gradually assimilated by the kingdom of God and become part of it.

It can be said that this is a tacit agreement between both parties. Mortals pay their faith and obtain the right to continue living in the kingdom of gods after death. By expanding their own influence, gods gain more divine power and priesthood. It all seemed so perfect and everyone got what they wanted. But there is an important prerequisite for this, that is, believers fully agree with the philosophy of the gods they believe in, and they must completely open their hearts.

Regarding this point, Henry didn't think he could do it at all. You must know that there are quite a lot of gods in the whole world, which can cover almost all aspects. It is not too difficult to find one he agrees with. Although he cannot become a pious saint, it is not a problem to be a shallow believer.

The problem is that there are too many secrets hidden in the depths of his soul, which cannot be revealed to the second person at all, unless one day he completely merges the opposite side, collects all the fragments, and fully controls the power of himself. But at that time, he undoubtedly already had the capital to fight against the gods, and there was no need to believe in anyone else. He didn't think Miss Lost was capable of interfering with his dreams. Although the power of the self cannot be controlled yet, anything related to divine power will be unceremoniously expelled. In this regard, Shar's last appearance has confirmed it. She wanted to use the dark power to forcibly tear off a bit and take it back for research, but was pushed far away by the powerful repulsion.

"Can't you transfer the abstract nature to the gods? There are so many gods of nature, such as Chauntia, the goddess of the earth, Lurue, the goddess of unicorns, Melika, the goddess of forests and rangers, and Nubi, the god of lions. Well, Sivanus, the father of the oak tree, and Sienlia, the goddess of sprouts, don't you have a philosophy among them that you can agree with?" Laila asked with a frown.

It seemed to her that Henry was a bit too stubborn in this regard. After all, many mages in this world don't care much about gods. But they will still be shallow believers, just in case, to ensure that they will not be dragged to paste the wall of unbelievers after death. It can be said that this phenomenon is very common. Shendi also turned a blind eye to this. Kelben sighed slightly, and took out a small piece of ruby ​​that looked very gorgeous from his arms, and something seemed to be flowing in the center. There was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and then he put it on the table and said: "Since you don't want to believe in any gods, then take this with you. It was shed by a saint before he died. The last drop of blood contains the power of good in the multiverse."

Henry touched the gem lightly. Immediately felt the power of goodness that repels all evil inside. Obviously, although the power of this item is very powerful, if it is obtained by a priest of a good god or a paladin, it will definitely be able to obtain asylum. But he can't, as a person who swings between good and evil from time to time, this is equivalent to a time bomb.

"Thank you very much for your concern, but please forgive me for not being able to accept such an expensive gift. Don't worry, my will is not that fragile yet, so I will leave first if I have nothing else to do."

"Well, you have your own persistence and pride, so I won't force you. Remember. Come here as soon as something uncontrollable happens. No matter what, Laila and I don't want to see you go into darkness. Kelben said solemnly.

Looking at the worried expressions of the elector couple, Henry suddenly felt that he owed a lot of favors. without their help. It is simply impossible to master so many strange magics now, maybe it is time to pay back. Thinking of this, he took a pen and paper without hesitation and wrote down the relevant information of the legendary magic "Sunrise". After finishing writing, he rolled the parchment and sent it to Laila's hand, then bowed slightly, cast teleportation magic and disappeared in place.

Kelben shook his head lightly and sighed, "What a stubborn young man. Well, now let's see what he wrote on the paper."

"I think I should say hello to Alustria about this matter, maybe she can come up with a good solution. After all, the two of them should be closer..." Lyra said and put the parchment on the table Lay it flat and start reading the text on it. soon. She was fascinated by the magic described above, especially the understanding of positive energy and the use of gravity is simply irresistible.

The two of them devoted themselves to the study of spells without knowing it. They are also mages. Moreover, he is a legendary mage, and his enthusiasm for magic is no less than that of others. Even stronger. In particular, "Sunrise" involves an aspect that all mages have not discovered, and it can be said to have created a new research and development direction.

More than an hour later, Kelben was the first to complete the magic deduction, and said to his wife with a wry smile: "Perfect! I really can't believe that he can create such controllable magic just after becoming a legendary mage. When it is most powerful, it can flatten a city, and when its power is weak, the range of influence is less than tens of meters. Most importantly, this is a positive energy magic with great lethality."

Laila nodded gravely. "That's right! It seems that it will be much easier to deal with undead creatures in the future. If Sammaster dares to jump out and mess with the dracolich again, he can be sent back to his hometown with just one click. But this gift seems a bit too expensive, just Wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to accept it like this?"

"Didn't you see the look in Henry's eyes when he left? Obviously, he took it as a reward for his previous help, so it's fine as long as he doesn't teach others. Of course, this reward is indeed a bit heavy, but we can do more Can't you make up for it?" Kelben said with a smile on his face. In his opinion, this is a good sign. After all, a person who still knows how to be grateful means that he has not crossed his bottom line, at least for a period of time, he does not have to worry too much about the problem of degeneration.

"Of course! We have a lot of good things in our warehouse, and it's not a problem to pick out one or two. Now that this problem has been solved, let's quickly find a place where no one is around and try to perform this called "Sunrise "Legendary magic. You must know that this is the first time I have seen such a novel theory, and now my brain is extremely excited."

Kelben laughed and stood up, took his wife's hand and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the demiplane. I am also a little eager to try now, as if I have returned to my passionate youth."

The two held hands and directly invoked the power of the Mage Tower to teleport between planes. After only a second, the huge portal was opened, and the elector couple quickly disappeared in place.

———————————————————

After Henry returned to the mansion, he left some gold coins as daily expenses, and then went to the bridge area alone. Because before dealing with Kangus, the seal must be untied first, and to open the seal, two elemental liches need to be defeated first. Fortunately, the seals are placed in two different places, so only one of them needs to be dealt with at a time.

He intended to regard this as a duel between spellcasters, a spell duel. Anyway, with "sunrise" as the killer weapon against undead creatures, a lich can't turn the sky at all. Think of it as an exercise, accumulating the experience of fighting against legendary spellcasters. At least before encountering Joan Irenicus, he had to come two or three times so that he would not be in a hurry.

The people in the bridge area at night are very quiet, except for some thieves doing shady business in the corner or at the river wharf, there are no pedestrians at all. Since the territory here was recovered, the smuggling business has been started again. Since there was no vampire attack, the thieves became much more courageous, and a large amount of urgently needed supplies were quietly transported to the city, which not only eased the rise in prices, but also brought a lot of profits.

It can be said that Shadow Thieves are an integral part of Amn. Once something goes wrong with them, every aspect of life will be affected. It is precisely because of this that the people of Amn do not reject shadow thieves, and many citizens even feel that it is an honor to join them. Of course, these are just ignorant civilians. People with real status and status will only use them reasonably, but they will never join them.

Walking on the street, Henry had already seen several thieves belonging to his union, all of them wore silver-plated daggers as required, which looked extraordinarily bright. These guys look very professional and can stash all the cargo on a small boat in mere minutes.

After standing there watching for a few minutes, he couldn't help but smiled, shook his head, turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind: "Ah!!! Suck... blood..." Before he could finish speaking, the attacked thief fell to the ground.

Henry turned around sharply, and saw a black figure quickly slipping into the dark alley, and disappeared in a few clicks. He didn't chase after it, but immediately ran to the corpse to check the wound. There were two cone-shaped wounds on the neck of the deceased, which were protruded by the fangs, and the skin on the face was blue-gray. Obviously, the blood in this person's body was sucked by the vampire, and there are still many traces of negative energy left on his body.
